What's this blog for, you ask? Simply this: To gather research and information about journalism leaders for those who care, which are likely to be other researchers, students, journalists - and, perhaps, even those who lead them.
Why? The answer to this one has a few more angles. For one, I lead the new Journalism Leaders Programme at the Lancashire Business School in Preston, UK, and am keen to create a public depository of related research documents, both those that are freely available and those that are access-protected.
Another reason for this effort is that I'm also researching journalism leadership and change to inform our course and my teaching, certainly. But I'm also working on of my doctorate in journalism education at City University, London. In that capacity, I'm also keen to create a network of journalism scholars - or would-be scholars, like me - who are keen to swap ideas.
Like with other forms of journalism, this blog's success depends on the extent to which we all share. So, go ahead, send me a note at leaders@ukjournalism.org and let's get this depository - and discussion - going.

Laid Off: What do UK journalists do next?
Less than a quarter of study respondents had found full-time work. Of those, only 18% were back at a newspaper, while the same number had moved into PR or marketing. A similar number - 20%- had moved into other positions, including working as a dentist's receptionist, a market trader and running a coffee shop. you can download a copy of the full #laidoff report by François Nel, in collaboration with Journalism.co.uk, here.
